More than 1,100 people drive through the gates of the expansive Stihl facility each day to report to work - the production lines run day in and day out, 24-7. Join us on a virtual tour of the factory, where high-technology machines produce materials and skilled technicians assemble the full line of Stihl power tools and accessories.

A closer look at the blower assembly line. The facility is open 24 hours, but most products are produced during the day. Thirty percent are manufactured during the night shift.
